Private Highland Cow Safari & Calf Handling
Duration: It lasts around 1 hour.
Session cost (not per person): £200 per slot
Location: Whirlow Hall Farm, Whirlow Lane, Sheffield, S11 9QF
This family-friendly farm experience is all about our glorious pedigree fold of Scottish Highland Cows in Sheffield, South Yorkshire on the edge of the Peak District, England’s first National Park.
At the start of the tour, we will meet outside the farm shop and begin with an introduction talk, where you'll learn about the history of the farm, followed by a short safety briefing.
Then hop onto our weather-proof passenger trailer and enjoy an interactive and educational Highland Cow Safari into the pleasant pastures where the rest of the fold of highland cows graze all year round. From the trailer, you’ll have plenty of time to photograph or video, these stunning cattle with their magnificent horns, long shaggy coats and flowing fringes (dossens) that cover their face and eyes.
The knowledgeable farmer will tell you facts about the breed, you can learn their names and all about their different personalities.
Feel free to ask the farmer any questions that you may have about our pedigree cattle.
You will meet and greet our fluffy Highland calves in the cow barn. You’ll get to feed, brush and fuss them, spending time socialising the calves, gaining their trust, maybe even giving them a cuddle or two. We will show you how we halter train and prepare the cows for shows. If you’re confident enough, you can try leading them on a little walk on the halter.
We're hands-on with our animals and very passionate about the Highland breed, so we want you to leave us loving them just as much as we do!
Terms and Conditions:
Suitable for all ages
Maximum group size: 6 people
Children must be accompanied by a participating adult.
Experience around 1 hour
Sensible footwear and clothing are recommended.
Spectators not allowed
